LIV HILDE

For the past eight years I have been immersed teaching yoga in Vancouver and am thrilled to call breathtaking Nelson BC my new home! I love a spicy, intelligently-sequenced practice, and I’ve refined my knowledge teaching thousands (literally) of Power, Hot, and Vinyasa Flow classes at YYoga in Vancouver. Teaching from a playful, heart-centered perspective, I inspire my students to move from a place of loving empowerment. In every single movement and every single breath is a chance to create more exquisite space and live more fully. Through drawing inwards we can tap into our highest source, shine more brightly, and inspire others to rise. Expansion is contagious! I teach a playful, powerful class with ever-changing choreography and challenge. Yoga practice is an evolution and I encourage my students to step into their light while enjoying the beauty along the way.
